Anwendungen

1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is used as Pharmaceutical Intermediate. It is used in some paints and as a diazo dye. It is also used in perfumes and flavors in order to its floral odor. In addition, it is used on greasy skin, and with sulfur to treat acne, or as a dandruff treatment.

1,4-Dimethoxybenzene and its simple derivatives undergo anodic oxidation in methanol, to give bis-acetals of benzoquinones. For experimental details, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 6, 971 (1988). For a review of the chemistry of these bis-acetals and of the mono-acetals obtained by partial hydrolysis, see: Acc. Chem. Res., 16, 74 (1983).
